"Christopher Paolini is a true rarity."—The Washington Post

Oaths sworn . . . loyalties tested . . . forces collide... Eragon is the greatest hope to rid the land of tyranny. Can this once simple farm boy unite the rebel forces and defeat the king? Following the colossal battle against the Empire's warriors, Eragon and his dragon, Saphira, have narrowly escaped with their lives. Still, there is more adventure at hand for the Rider and his dragon, as Eragon finds himself bound by a tangle of promises he may not be able to keep.

When unrest claims the rebels and danger strikes from every corner, Eragon must make choices—choices that will take him across the Empire and beyond, choices that may lead to unimagined sacrifice.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Christopher Paolini is a true rarity." (The Washington Post)

Can't wait for Book 4

This a terrific follow up to the first 2 books. Gerald Dolye delivers an another amazing narration of Chistopher's novel. I don't even bother reading the book because the narrator brings the story to life.

Nicely done

Not as predictable as I had thought it might be. I enjoyed the story and the narration. I had difficulty sticking with it when I tried to read the paper version of these books, but found the audio version to be very enjoyable.

Entertaining but not stellar

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Not if I wanted to keep them as "friends".

Would you recommend Brisingr to your friends? Why or why not?

I suppose... If they were extremely bored, or I wanted to alienate them as "friends"

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

The voicing of Sapphira could have been better; i.e. - softer, more feminine. Too much emphasis and emotions in Eragon's voice makes him sound like a screaming baby.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I cried once I realized I bought the whole series up-front, and the story was becoming irritatingly stupid the further along I read. Seriously, by the time I was half-way through Book #2 in the series, I was so fed-up with the naive situations the Author imagined for his hero characters, I began cheering for Galbatorix to win and wipe them all out.

Any additional comments?

I'll give the Author points for effort, and ambition; but as for story-telling... Well, he's got a LOT of growing up to do. He's no Tolkein or Feist, but he's got potential. It would serve him well to get to know the real world in which we live, and has existed millenia before his time. Join the military, and learn what real military life is like; study more on the Art of War and how strategies really work, etc. He's greatly lacking in this area alone. Also, he should cast off whatever axe it is he has got to grind with religion, for his religious bigotry bleeds through into his writing, and it stinks. Way too young to be so opinionated about such things.
In summary: Take some time to grow personally and mature and your future works will improve I am sure. Good luck.

Great book, awesome story

This storyline is awesome, narrator was good. Recommend this to anyone. Thanks and have a great day

Great book. But the interview at the end is a rude awakening

Another great installment in the Inheritance Cycle. Gerard Doyle did an amazing job bringing this book to life.

The interview at the end however annoyed the crap out of me. That editors voice is a rude awakening from what you've just experienced and her reactions seemed too simple and childish. It didn't contribute to the audiobook as it could have.

Suspenseful!

This one holds your interest all the way through, which is how all of the series has done, I can hardly wait for the next one in this series, I sure hope it doesn't take long to get the next book.

Awesome!

I loved the first two books, Eragon and Eldest, but Brisingr is my favorite so far. So many twists and turns. It made me laugh out loud and cry. I loved this book. My only regret is now I'll have to wait for the last one to come out to see how it all ends.

Brisingr

This is my favorite in the series so far. My twist & turns along with some answers to the unknown. Now I want another one to see where he characters are going. Very enjoyable book.

Best yet in the series.

Best book yet. well developed characters and story. definitely feels like it's own series now.

Terrific, but lengthy.

I was hoping that this would wrap up the series. He's a wonderful writer and this is gripping, but a bit over-written. The included author interview is fun.
